In May 2024 on the Cliffs of Moher, Michael asked me a question I couldn’t refuse. September marks our 12th year together, and this year there’s a little extra to celebrate.
This summer I will be joining the 3D company for Laguardia Acting Studio to continue honing my skills in film acting, instructed by actor and producer Joshua Nelson. As an artist, I am always learning, and I'm very excited to begin more formal training for telling stories in this medium, and work with industry professionals in the NYC area.
In July, I will be returning in person as the Musical Theatre Instructor for Embark! Youth Theatre with Endstation Theatre Company in Lynchburg, Virginia. As a high school senior, I spent a summer in Lynchburg as a "Super Intern" establishing the what would now be modern day Embark! Years later in 2019, I was invited back as a teacher by director and friend, Ezra Colon. Due to the global pandemic, last year's camp season was moved to a virtual camp setting. While unable to be physically together, it made it possible to connect with students and teachers from different parts of the country, making for an incredibly unique and rewarding experience. This year, I will be joining the faculty on the beautiful campus of Randolph College for a full circle reunion! I can't wait to bring the joy and confidence musical theatre as provided me to the students of Embark, and watch them grow over the course of two intensive weeks.
In Late May, I had the opportunity to shoot a music video short film for musical artist Rare DM's new single "Rolex", available next month, streaming on all platforms. I also have new goals in life, as my first time on the coast of Rhode Island did not disappoint. Directors Jake Moore and Lisa Saeboe. Producer Zach Fleming. Wardrobe Meredith King.
